In 2015, the company rebranded as TRI Pointe Group, with TRI Pointe Homes becoming one of the company’s six regional homebuilding brands.

Since its inception, TRI Pointe Homes has built more than 60 communities that deliver innovative single-family homes and townhomes in key markets including Southern California, Northern California and Colorado.

Throughout the years, TRI Pointe Homes has garnered numerous accolades. This year, Southern California Division President Tom Grable was named Builder of the Year by the Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC), a recognition he says is a “reflection of a total team effort, all throughout our organization”. TRI Pointe Homes Northern California received several honors at the 2016 Homebuyers’ Choice Awards, was ranked No. 1 nationally for Construction Experience and Customer Service Experience, and ranked second in The Purchase Experience and Overall First-Year Quality in the high-volume builder segment by Eliant, the building industry’s largest consumer research company. TRI Pointe Homes Colorado was honored as the 2016 winner of the Home Builder and Associates in Partnership (HAP) Award in the National Production Builder category by the Home Builders Association (HBA) Metro Denver for the second year in a row.

“Think Renew Inspire is our mantra that drives us to think about what home can be, renew our passion for the families we serve, and inspire each other to go well beyond the expected,” said Mitchell. “We’re excited to be recognized for our past achievements and are looking ahead.

BIASC’s 2016 BIS Focuses on Education and Culminates by Thanking its Leadership and Memberssee more

BIASC.org--Nov 9 and 10, 2016--Riverside,CA--The Building Industry Show (BIS), which was on Wednesday, November 9 and Thursday November 10 at the Riverside Convention Center by the Building Industry Association of Southern California, Inc. (BIASC), “Started the Conversation” by turning its focus towards education.

More than 1,500 attendees came to this year’s show not just to mingle with builders, catch up with professionals in the building industry, and discuss new job prospects, but to also participate in the show’s new format that sought to engage attendees with informative discussions.

This year the show evolved to do more than provide a place for building industry professionals to catch up with colleagues and discuss new job prospects. BIS included insightful Pop-Up Education presentations that covered a range of topics from discussions of how mobile apps are transforming home building; what you need to know about solar: code requirements to future trends; advanced framing techniques; minimizing costs & increasing efficiency; CEU workshops; to design trends for 2017 among other topics.

The goal was to get BIASC members potential answers to these issues such as the skilled labor shortage that BIS addressed during its first ever Skilled Labor Brain Trust, which connected the employers with the educators of potential employees. The Skilled Labor Brain Trust panel discussion was one of the many rich programs that were included in the price of the show floor pass.

Program organizers, the instructors that train the future skilled labor workforce, and the Building Industry Panelist made up of Thomas Steele, HCI; Tanner Schamber, Schamber Electric; and Bruce Wick, OSHA, were all a part of the education-driven discussion panel.

The topics discussed by the dynamic panel during the event included the current and future needs of employers in the industry, the current training programs, and how to connect graduates with employment.

The Building Industry Show Floor culminated Thursday evening with an award ceremony to honor and recognize BIASC’s hard working leadership and dedicated members.

BIASC wishes to extend another congratulation to the following winners which were announced at the 2016 Installation and Award Ceremony Thursday evening after the Building Industry Show Floor closed.

BIASC would also like to congratulate the newly installed 2017 BIASC Governing Board who were also announced during the 2016 Installation and Award Ceremony Thursday evening after the Building Industry Show Floor closed.
